Nationally Competitive Salaries · 2011

Posted by Nagida Clark3sc on January 20, 2014

At the start of 2011, we are faced with a Government pay offer that would barely keep up with inflation. The Government proposes that an ACT teacher at the top of the salary scale be paid $6000 less per year than a colleague in Queanbeyan doing the same job. Through massive stop-work meetings and widespread community support we win our demand to be paid as much as our NSW colleagues. Our victory means that salaries for top-of-the-scale classroom teachers increase $12000 over the period from June 2011 to April 2014.
